Excellent song! So short, but it says so much, says it all. Sometimes it takes years to be able to say it. Some of us need to offer the benefit of the doubt again and again, because that's who we are, those are our standards and principles. And finally, when you've exhausted all doubt, ah, then you have exhausted all self-doubt, and you can call it what it is with honesty and integrity because the full depth of your compassion and fairness has been plumbed. And in calling it what it is and recognizing its as unacceptable without doubt, you have delineated yourself and defined your self-respect. That's the prize you bring back with you from the underworld. But its not a gift - it is of great value, and you paid a great deal to acquire it. That hard-won self-respect is adamantine, and cannot be worn away, lost, or forgotten. That's how I see it. :)
Now, I really like this song....
